Although delayed due to the known blackout issue of our previous server, KDE's third update of its 4.12 series of Workspaces, Applications and Development Platform is now available in the stable repositories. With this release kde-workspace has also been updated to version 4.11.7.

According to the official 4.12.3 announcement "More than 30 recorded bugfixes include improvements to the personal information management suite Kontact, the UML tool Umbrello, the image viewer Gwenview, the web browser Konqueror, the file manager Dolphin, and others.". The complete changes are listed on KDE's issue tracker.

Have in mind that some of the mirrors are still broken cause of the domain change. If this update is not available to you in the following days, consider switching your mirror to one that should be syncing correctly by now. We are already in contact with our mirror providers and hopefully more mirrors will be available again for Chakra users soon.

As a side note to this, KDE SC 4.13 beta is available for testing in our kde-unstable repo. Please remember this is an early release and only suited for testers. Any issues should be reported to the linked forum thread.
